Sayonara to the Subaru WRX STI
Over time, the WRX STI has become a brand icon for Subaru, so the decision to drop it from the range is audacious. However, the moribund model will apparently “inform future developments” (whatever that actually means).
To commemorate the WRX STI's imminent demise, 150 examples of a special Final Edition version are being offered in the UK.
Identifying features include a redesigned front bumper and steering-responsive LED headlights. Larger 19” wheels are fitted too, primarily to accommodate bigger Brembo brake discs and their yellow-painted calipers.
Like the regular WRX STI, power is provided by a 2.5 litre turbocharged engine. This four-cylinder boxer unit sends 295 bhp (220 kW / 300 PS) and 407 Nm (300 lb/ft) of torque to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. For the Final Edition, the Multi-Mode Driver's Control Centre Differential becomes fully electronic instead of mechanical and electronic.
As well as a numbered badge, the interior gains heated seats, a DAB radio, a reversing camera system and a 5.9” infotainment display screen. Red stitching, red seatbelts and gloss black trim pieces have also been added to the specification.
Available to order now, the WRX STI Final Edition costs £33,995.
